	White Collar	Blue Collar
Believe Excessive Force Used (f)	275	325
Sample Size	N₁= 425	N₂= 615

Follow the 6 steps to test the significance of the difference between the proportion of white collar workers and blue collar workers who believe the police use of excessive force. (α =.05; two-tailed test; Show your work step by step).

5. A well-evaluated cognitive behavioral program is administered to youth on juvenile probation to teach them how to reduce levels of aggression. Researchers are interested only in whether or not the youth improved (i.e., if their aggression was reduced) and have good reason to believe that the individual's aggression will decrease because research has found it to be effective. Therefore, use a one-tailed t test to identify whether or not levels of aggression (high numbers reflect greater aggressiveness) were reduced after the cognitive behavioral program. Before and after results are presented below:

Probationers	Aggression
Probationers	Before (X1)	After (X2)
A	18	15
B	15	13
C	14	14
D	16	14
E	10	7
F	17	14
G	14	11
H	15	14
I	10	11
J	9	8
K	16	12
L	13	13
M	9	7
N	16	15
O	12	14

Test the null hypothesis that the cognitive-behavioral program has no effect on level of aggression. (Using α = .05; follow the 8 steps).
